While waiting for the Olympic flame to pass through Arenberg on July 2, the CAPH has set up a sports event during the weekend.
Four major events are taking place in the Porte du Hainaut region before the Olympic flame passes through the Arenberg mining site on July 2.
The first stage of this sporting spring took place in Bouchain on Saturday May 18 and Sunday May 19 at the Bassin Rond. Then “Hainaut’lympic”, the name given to the sporting event, was on the side of Thun-Saint-Amand recently.
On the weekend of June 1st and 2nd, it was the turn of the Leisure and Nature Park of La Porte du Hainaut to host this tour on the theme of the Olympic Games.
